What Affects the Price of a Charter Bus Rental?

There are a few different factors that affect the price of your Arlington charter bus. Below, we break down the most common factors that affect the price of your charter bus rental. The best way to get an accurate price for your group is to give us a call. We can get you a quote in minutes and are available 24/7 to assist you!

  • When you are traveling: Demand for charter buses in Arlington is higher during certain times of the year, such as the summer, and during large events like music festivals. This can drive up the price of your charter bus rental.
  • How far you are traveling: Longer trips will cost more than shorter ones due to mileage and how many hours your driver will be on the road. If you are traveling out of state or for several days, expect your rental to cost more than a local trip in Arlington.
  • The type of charter bus you rent: Charter buses come in different sizes and models, and each has its own price point. Minibuses, which can accommodate anywhere from 15 to 35 passengers, are great for smaller groups and local trips. Full-size charter buses can accommodate up to 56 passengers and are best suited for larger groups and groups traveling longer distances. Each charter bus also comes with its own amenities, such as onboard restrooms and TVs, that can also affect the price of your rental.
  • Your pick-up and drop-off locations: If your charter bus needs to travel a longer distance to pick up your group, you may be subject to additional fees. Try to keep your pickup and dropoff locations within Arlington for the most accurate price.
  • Additional travel fees: You may be responsible for additional costs such as toll roads, parking permits, or overnight accommodations for your driver. Be sure to budget for these when planning your trip!
